Witness the prosperity of Jiufen Old Street [Shengping Theater]

A must-see when visiting Jiufen Old Street is the Shengping Theater. Built in 1934, it was Taiwan's first cinema funded by miners, a testament to the prosperity of the gold mining era. Imagine the miners eagerly gathering to watch a film or a cabaret performance – the excitement and joy can still be felt today through the old theater's red brick walls and wooden seats.

Today, the Shengping Theater no longer screens new films, but serves as an exhibition and cultural space, allowing people to relive the story of Jiufen. Walking inside, I felt like I'd traveled back to the Showa era, looking at old movie posters and projectors, and almost hearing the audience's applause and laughter.

The Shengping Theater epitomizes a time gone by and is a precious cultural memory. Beyond the mountain and sea views and delicious food, a visit to Jiufen is worth stopping to savor the soul of the old street in this theater.
